Take Twelve

Here is my March layout:

Now I should state that when it says on the 12th it really means around the 12th. Spending half the day in airplanes and airports makes it difficult to get the pictures I need.

March Madness

I volunteered for Rodeo Day at the boys school. I walked around with Logan and Aiden and helped out for the other classes.

 Digging for gold

 milking a cow

We went to a celebration in League Park.

Lots of yard work and digging for worms and bugs.

Houston Rodeo, I took the boys for a fun day.

Fun on the Farm

 Petting zoo

 Barrel races

A Before and After

We have started working on our yard and it is going to take a lot of work.
Here is one little corner of our front landscaping. This is pretty much how everywhere looks, even the grass is full of weeds.

And this is after working on it today:

We worked on the front last weekend. It still needs more mulch but is greatly improved.

Bill mowed and but weed killer on the lawn so hopefully that will start looking better. 

Next we tackle the back yard where some of the weeds are taller then the shrubs! (small shrubs but still.) I will definitely get before pictures back there especially since it will have a couple more weeks to grow. The boys of course love to help us. They will dump our pails of weeds, help rake and dig weeds. That is until a worm is found. Then they are too busy digging for worms to work. :)

It has been fun discovering all the new blooms in our yard for our first Spring here. Like these pink ones and little white flowers beside them.

Worked on this area today too except around the fire ant mounds. 

Take Twelve

for Feb 12th

This has been sitting in my computer waiting for me to add the journaling. I found this template in my supplies and I think it will work perfect for this project. Yeah for making something easier!

Birthday Week

How Aiden celebrated turning 5.

2/8/12

at school, brought in treat

 Dinner at Joe's...loved being sung to.

 Opening gifts = official birthday

 2/9 Celebrate at school chapel

2/11 Party day at Jump n Jungle

 Yeah! the cake turned out. I was worried about it because I didn't know which dragons were going on it till the day of. Aiden thought it looked awesome though. 

 and it tasted good too!

Take Twelve

I'm doing The 2012 Take Twelve project from Ella Publishing. At least a version of it. Not sure what direction I'm heading with the 12 photo's this year. This month I combined a couple of photo prompts lists. I think it will end up being very random.
I'm trying this in digital format but not sure how I'm liking the template I started with. I'll look with more rested eyes in a few days. :)
